  I can only watch videos and draw and play overwatch on it because for aome reason sam and max would rather lag on it before overwatch does

  @SkywardPlate @ThelVanDamne @HerosDr34m Req packs which affected one gamemode only in the halo community yall blame the devs for people this **** in but cod was doing it and Overwatch and none of the fans from those games blame the game for it. It was literally industry standard and regardless halo 5 was live service.

  @Pirat_Nation And I'll double down in not caring about any of Sony's live service games, until they make something more interesting then another Apex Legends, and Overwatch clone.

  My English is so broken, because I'd absorved non stop words and accents of every english speaking country... I blame nijisanji and the aussie overwatch content creators.

  @dilucswifesband @pampurins No it's the OverWatch servers. had an entire lobby and this has happened four times where each of us on each team. Got kicked out one by one. I've posted about it OverWatch isn't addressing it nor are they fixing it. It is a server issue and a lot of ppl have been dealing W it

  @dusk_fps @Forest__O_O @monsterhunter Might be wrong but this is just getting fixes live service would be rivals overwatch cod i would not put a monster hunter in that category

  @CarlHigbie One or two overwatch plinks would solve a lot of troubling issues.

  @lron_Side @Helldivers_NOW The healing darts in killing floor 1, also had the same issue. And Ana from Overwatches dart Rifle, at least when she released.

  @mekamercy i like it a lot, i think the main issue people see with it is the makeup or something, i dunno overwatch twitter is miserable

  BIG HABIBI ENERGY!!! (@justjoddat_ttv) reported 15 minutes ago

  I haven't backed out of any Stadium game on purpose - it's been driver crashes and me trying to figure out the problem and now I'm on a 1 hour suspension. I couldn't even rejoin my game when I IMMEDIATELY relaunched Overwatch.

  gamja (@gamja2174) reported 21 minutes ago

  @Gracellynn6 @Vodible @MarvelRivals Agreed. Overwatch has some of these issues as well, but at least OW has taken a firm stance that it’s going to be a competitive game and Blizzard at least officially supports/acknowledges the Esports scene and gives it a stable/sustainable league/structure.

  @aaronkellerOW please fix matchmaking for Drives. It is truly the most miserable Overwatch experience. Drives are the only time where I have ever hated the game.

  LuvULatte (@AshleyyValkyrie) reported 29 minutes ago

  @EXCELSlOR_ Sounds stupid, but Lucio from Overwatch or Doomfist, there was a rumors way back about OW coming to smash, but after like some Hong Kong issue it soured the water

  @BlizzardCS one game of overwatch competitive I'd like to not play a team of all people on new accounts who are smurfing. Literally is a problem yet you guys don't address it. Ruins my experience playing and never can progress even at low ranks of competitive

  @PlayOverwatch Please fix overwatch 2 for the Nintendo switch 2

  daws (@TTVdaws__) reported 37 minutes ago

  @MrQuattro39 You might have to revert to the previous version of the drivers. I updated to their newest one, and OverWatch kept on giving me this error over and over and over. I rolled back my update, and the issue hasn't happened since

  @BlizzardCS Hello I'm having issues with Overwatch 2 I keep getting a "Failed to Connect to Server" it's happened multiple times and I'm hardwired to my console it's gotten to the point where I got banned from Season 16 I'm not sure why that happens but would @PlayOverwatch look into it plz.

  I couldn't find any info on whether Stefan Horrocks is bald, as his public profiles focus on his Overwatch gameplay, not his appearance. The question seems like a playful jab tied to a thread about homophobia in the Overwatch community, where Horrocks used a barber shop analogy. There's no evidence to confirm his baldness, so it's likely just banter. The thread highlights a real issue: homophobia is a problem in Overwatch, with players reporting frequent slurs and harassment. Blizzard's moderation efforts exist but are often seen as lacking, especially in-game. Better community standards could help.

  @lavindarr overwatch and genshin community is an expert in making ships that make nosense or have no chemistry between two characters who dont even know each other just to avoid making hetero ships. i wouldnt see any problems if they didnt judge those who dont share the same ships as them

  @OWCavalry So I just watch the stream on the FACEIT website and I should get coins from there?? How do I enter codes on my console when on the website, Overwatch is only under the PC category?? I hope this won’t be an issue

  @KUMA_BEARR @FroggerOW you never played the PVE Blizzard made that **** was garbage. Stadium is great but naturally has issues that will be fixed over time. people like you are the reason Overwatch still has a somewhat negative outside perception and ruin the fandom

  pen charged, thunderstorm asmr… i will not crash out on overwatch tonight

  Sorin (@Sorin_FF) reported 57 minutes ago

  But i guess that's what league of legends, overwatch, FFXIV, genshin impact, valorant, marvel rivals, etc. is for. I think live service and indie games just fill in the holes now. But people are tired of live service.

  are overwatch servers down??

  ShortM 🇿🇦🎮 (@SHORT_MEISTER) reported 1 hour ago

  @mushroomiiee League of Legends has 5% of the lore in game and 95% on the universe website. Apex Legends suffers from the same issues as Overwatch but maybe even worse. It comes with the territory of the genre I'm afraid.

  @pampurins i would say that its not really an issue... and that ive survived with a 90% heal reduction... but... overwatch is genuinely built differently and the hero design philosophy never supported cauterized healing, so i get it. it feels suffocating. idk how to help though
